Post Office Fresh MNH set of Computer Vended Postage 'kiosk' stamp panes of 5 different designs, of all four denominations (Permanent, $1.20, $1.80 and $2.50), all with the short-lived 18-digit code and with the scarce Unitrade listed partial "11" at bottom left on each Tom Thomson design stamp. Strips dated this early can only have come from Vancouver and have the post office code 105341 at the beginning of the digit string. The partial "11" feature was apparently printed on the first strip in an order, and since most orders were rather large these strips are particularly scarce. These particular panes represent the key Unitrade-listed varieties from this issue. In my opinion, these panes are undervalued in Unitrade and should jump in value in the next edition. 2018 Unitrade.
